Companion Presentation - Intro to Projectile Motion
The presentation includes discussion questions, a video link, practice problems, and some information about projectile motion.
Student Activity - Projectile Target
Students calculate the speed required to roll a marble off of a table and hit a cup in one try. They then gather data of the marble rolling across the table to hit a desired distance on the floor. With one attempt they try let the marble roll off of the table into the cup.
